Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 677 When Did You Come Back?

Hayley’s POV:

Seeing Henry’s attempt at being cryptic, I could not help but roll my eyes directly at him.

“Just say what you want to say,” I replied calmly.

Henry licked his lips hesitantly, then said with a hint of reluctance, “I just thought… you remind me of Halcyon in SI, given how capable you are.”

I gave him a faint smile, acknowledging his somewhat sharper observation this time, though I chose not to engage further.

Seeming to lose interest after not getting the reaction he probably hoped for, Henry turned to leave. As he walked towards the door, he accidentally collided with Zayd, who was coming in with tea.

“Zayd?” Henry blurted out in surprise, giving Zayd a playful punch in the chest.

“Weren’t you sent off to Arcadia by my brother? When did you get back?”

“Just arrived today,” Zayd replied, his words as brief as his expression was stoic.

As Henry continued talking, his excitement was palpable–he shook Zayd’s shoulders vigorously, trying to elicit more than the usual stoic responses.

Zayd, however, remained completely impassive throughout the exchange.

“Brayden? Who’s that?” I questioned, confused.

Pausing, Harris clarified, “Brayden is Vivian’s father.”

“So?” I pressed, unfazed.

“Thankfully, my father stepped in to defend you, and I offered some valuable herbs as an apology, which seemed to diffuse the situation,” Harris continued, seemingly pleased with himself. “Now, if you agree to treat Ms. Jagged, we can consider this matter settled.”

“Who said I need to apologize?” I laughed, challenging him. “If you made those promises, you go treat her.”

“Hayley, that’s no way to talk,” Harris frowned, clearly irritated.

“How should I talk then?” I countered, crossing my arms and regarding him mockingly. “Should I thank you for dragging me into this mess and adding to my troubles?”

At that, Harris‘ expression darkened, caught between anger and restraint as he struggled to maintain his
